Configure and commission servo drives and CNC systems, including drive parameters, motion profiles, and integration with control platforms.
Support system installation and commissioning at customer facilities, including troubleshooting, tuning, and final validation of equipment performance.
Collaborate with engineering, design, manufacturing, and project management teams to define requirements, refine system specifications, and resolve technical issues.
Participate in full project lifecycle activities, from concept and design reviews through factory acceptance, site installation, and customer buy-off.
Ensure electrical power and distribution systems are properly integrated with control hardware and software, following relevant standards and best practices.
Adapt to tight project timelines and evolving customer requirements while maintaining high levels of precision and quality during commissioning.
Provide on-site technical support during startup, including diagnosing and resolving control system, drive, and CNC-related issues.
